**Location Profile**:
At Mill Park Secondary College, our primary focus is enhancing the academic, social, and emotional well-being of every student in our community. Our curriculum actively promotes creative thinking, encourages students to strive for excellence, and offers a diverse array of learning opportunities. We are a thriving school community that provides a wide range of outstanding programs.

Our college comprises approximately 1000 students across two campuses: the Middle Years Campus (Years 7-9) situated in Mill Park, and the Senior Campus (Years 10-12) located in Epping. We are deeply committed to the child safe standards, ensuring the safety and empowerment of children. We hold the values of safety, happiness, and empowerment for both students and our dedicated staff and volunteers in the highest regard.

At Mill Park Secondary College, we uphold four core values: Respect, Responsibility, Achievement, and Enjoyment. These principles serve as the foundation for all interactions among our staff, students, parents, and the broader community. Together, we work collaboratively to support the growth of our students academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our school is recognised as an exemplar for the Berry Street Education Model, specifically designed to foster the progressive development of students' physical, psychological, social, and emotional capacities. We prioritise the active involvement of students in our community, emphasising student voice and agency. Students actively participate in the co-development of our Teaching and Learning Model, Student Engagement Model, and School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) Framework.

We strive to establish strong partnerships with families, recognising the valuable skills and values they bring to support student growth. Our dedication to open communication, a growth mindset, and individual goal-setting ensures that families are actively engaged in creating plans for student development.

For gifted and talented students, Mill Park Secondary College provides a Select Entry Accelerated Learning (SEAL) Program that commences in Year 7 and continues throughout secondary schooling. This program caters to students known for their accelerated learning abilities and capacity for exceptionally high standards of performance.

We offer a wide range of extracurricular opportunities in areas such as leadership, performing arts, music, sports, and various clubs to enrich the overall educational experience of our students.

**Selection Criteria**:
SC1. Demonstrated Library experience (or qualifications) with the ability to plan and manage a Library program within an educational setting

SC2. Demonstrated capacity to communicate effectively in a team environment, including high level oral and written communication skills.

SC3. Possess the technical knowledge and expertise relevant to the position.

SC4. Demonstrated capacity to provide advice and support to management and other school staff in respect to the work area.

SC5. Demonstrated commitment to professional learning and growth for both self and others.

**Role**:
There is no school holiday attendance required for this position.

Range 3 is distinguished by the introduction of management responsibility and accountability for the delivery of professional support services. The role will usually impact beyond the work area or professional field. It seeks to gain cooperation of other staff members or members of the school community to achieve specific objectives, such as in school administration, operations or educational programs.

Direction on targets and goals is provided but the position will have some degree of latitude in determining how they are achieved. This latitude will generally be limited by standard procedures and school policy. Deviation from standard procedures and school policy will require guidance and direction from senior management.

The provision of business management responsibilities becomes a feature at range 3. Management of staff to achieve the expected outcomes is a key responsibility. Staff management issues will be resolved with mínimal reference to senior management, although guidance will be required in more complex cases. Senior management will be provided with timely reports and advice, although this will generally be confined to matters relating to the immediate work area, service provision or educational program and is unlikely to impact substantially on whole of school operations.

This is the minimum range for positions that carry a mandatory qualification requirement of not less than four years. Professional student support positions become a feature at range 3 (e.g. therapists, psychologists) where standard professional services are delivered. Pro
